Well I am querying my DB, a table called bookBilling, to get a value under the column of billingID.

In my first query I get the customer ID from a table based on what value the cookie holds. In my second query I take that custID value and am looking to get the billingID associated with it.

query = 'SELECT custID FROM bookSession WHERE session=''&theCookie&''' '--Connect to DB'  Set objConn = ConnectDB() '--Query to DB'  Set objRS = objConn.Execute(query)  custID = objRS.Fields('custID')    query = 'SELECT billingID FROM bookBilling WHERE custID='&custID&''   objConn.Execute(query)

Here is where it becomes an issue. I tried using this to obtain the value:

billingID = objRS.Fields('billingID')

When that didn’t work I printed the query to my browser to make sure it worked and it came back good, I checked it in SQL Server Management Studio to make sure. After that I decided to play with it a bit and found that using ‘0’ as the reference works since it is the first item in my table. 

billingID = objRS.Fields(0)

So that worked, I know my table column header is correct I have looked at it and used it in other queries before. Does anyone know why this might happen? Is it a result of not clearing my connection or closing it afterward?

Thanks

  1. Hey, is it a typo that you don’t have this?

    query = "SELECT billingID FROM bookBilling WHERE custID="&custID&""

    objRS = objConn.Execute(query)

    To reload the recordset with the data and definition of the second query…..

    Just a thought, try Setting/Instantiating the ObjRS to a Recordset first, then apply the query.execute to it after, rather than the initial all in one with the first CustId query
